Developmental Programs

Congratulations for choosing gymnastics for your child!!

Gymnastics is the greatest overall body conditioning activity that you can have your child involved in. It develops strength, flexibility, kinesthetic awareness, muscular control, muscular endurance, coordination, timing, explosive power, agility, running speed, balance, courage, grace, posture and poise. In addition, studies have shown that physical fitness in children promotes and stimulates brain cells and, therefore, enhances your child's academic education.

Movement education teaches not only self awareness but also awareness of others. It teaches supportive behaviors such as self-discipline, independent thinking, cooperative learning, and perseverance. Children learn to work as a group, becoming sensitive to and accepting the differences between themselves and other children. Respect for others is enforced. Children are encouraged in appropriate social behaviors, such as taking turns and responsibility for their own actions. Leadership skills are promoted.

"Bodies built by good nutrition, hard work and NO DRUGS" is our motto!!
